Before jumping in, let’s quickly go over what kinds of ads LinkedIn offers. There are five main types: LinkedIn Display, Sponsored Content, LinkedIn Ads,Sponsored InMail, and LinkedIn Lead Accelerator.

LinkedIn Display Network Since LinkedIn’s acquisition of Bizo last year, LinkedIn also just developed a brand new type of advertising: LinkedIn Display. LinkedIn’s display network allows you to create banner display ads on websites outside of LinkedIn, but use all the same targeting criteria that LinkedIn offers.

Sponsored Content Sponsored content is similar to a status update ad on Facebook– a way to promote company updates in a user’s update feed on the homepage of LinkedIn. You can either:

Sponsor company updates that you’ve previously posted on your company page, or; Create “direct sponsored content,” which allows you to craft status updates that will only appear in your targeted audience’s update stream (and not on your company page.) Sponsored content ads are probably the best way to get engagement with your ads, but they are a bit more expensive than other ad models because they have a higher reach. You can bid to optimize your sponsored content on a CPM ( cost per thousand impressions) or CPC (cost per click) model.

Sharing your scoops to your social media accounts is a must to distribute your curated content. Not only will it drive traffic and leads through your content, but it will help show your expertise with your followers.

Integrating your curated content to your website or blog will allow you to increase your website visitors’ engagement, boost SEO and acquire new visitors. By redirecting your social media traffic to your website, Scoop.it will also help you generate more qualified traffic and leads from your curation work.

Distributing your curated content through a newsletter is a great way to nurture and engage your email subscribers will developing your traffic and visibility.
Creating engaging newsletters with your curated content is really easy.
